Pinta kabootan sa atubangan nimo…
It
is common understanding that there are people who can be so good when you are with
them but in real life, they’re wolves ready to feed on your personality when
you are not around.
Wolves
in sheep's clothing come to you camouflaged in kindness and good intentions. At
first, they dazzle you. However, they gradually show their claws, with which
they subsequently attack your dignity, energy, and self-esteem (Sabater, 2022).
Surely,
there are some of us who experienced having been acquainted with people who
look and sound so caring and appreciative but eventually destroy you once they
have the chance. These selfish and narcissistic individuals do not actually
care for others since their world is centered to themselves.
Once
you are linked with them in some kind of a friendship, they often tell you to
BE LOYAL to them since they are “valuing” your friendship. But why continue
torturing yourself if you already know that they are Wolves in Sheep’s
Clothing?
It
is healthy to leave that circle. Your peace is more important than their fake
friendship.
Healthy
relationships should be based on equality and respect, not control and power.
In a healthy relationship you are not afraid of your friend’s anger, because
they are NOT a threat to you. You feel safe, supported, happy, and excited to
be around each other.
But
when you are feeling the opposite – when you feel intimidated and unhappy, why
linger? Isn’t too much to suffer for those who do not deserve your love and
affection?
The
National Institute of Mental Health mentions that self-care is taking the time
to do things that help you live well and improve both your physical health and
mental health. When it comes to your mental health, self-care can help you
manage stress, lower your risk of illness, and increase your energy.
So, why linger on toxic relationships? Let go and eventually attain the well-being we all deserve.
